This perhaps used to be true if evil-mode was around in the 90s. I've used to use vim and eventually made the switch to emacs about 10 years ago, initially using viper and then becoming an early adopter of evil-mode - and it never felt less snappy than native vim, except for rare occasions when executing complex macros to do things that can't be achieved using regular expression. And the new native compilation makes any perceivable performance difference even more unlikely.

I asked what it has to offer which is different than asking "does it do exactly what emacs can do". I am never going to find a more powerful editor than emacs, at least not for a while, but that doesn't mean other editors don't have anything to offer. I still prefer intellij idea when doing Java. VS Code is a lot quicker at certain things than emacs and certain IDE features don't stop working after running it for a while (happens with my emacs setup), among other things. I also use vim for editing things when I'm already in the terminal because of its advantages in that realm.
